Chapter 37
LUCAS POV
"Babe, I'm confused here. Which suit do you think will suit me well? The grey suit or the black suit?"
"Hmmm, let's see." She grabs a black suit and comes to stand in front of me.
"Which one would you pick?" I ask her.
"This one," she says, holding it up. "The pants, the jacket, the ties – all the extras are here. And it's perfect for tonight."
As I watch her, my heart is heavy and anxious. "But – I'm not a tie person," I say, helplessly.
"Nonsense," she says, nodding at the ties on the mannequin.
She hands me the suit, and I put it on. "Here's the jacket – see? Just like that one in the showroom. It's a good colour. And there's a nice back pocket. And I don't know why, but there's just something about it that's quite right."
As she puts the trousers on for me, I stand beside her. She is tall, and her black shoes take me by surprise. But then she pulls me towards her and throws her arms around me.
